The Researcher passes over a binder of info about the yellow plague's progression in Khartoum, then catches a Mi-6 helicopter to Baghdad. Then the Researcher takes a station to station flight to Shanghai and puts out a bunch of hand sanitizer around the city before meeting up with the Medic at a clinic. The Medic just remarks, "Oh you put out some hand sanitizer, that's cute."
The Researcher then draws St. Petersburg (Blue) and Bangkok (Red!)
It's time for infection, but we must decide whether to use One Quiet Night or not.

I don't really want to use it yet, but I can't deny the fact that Beijing and Tokyo are both ready to blow and if either does, then we lose the game. Though we could see if we survive this turn and then use it next turn. At that point, if the Scientist cures the red death, the Medic can just go on a curing tour of East Asia.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

YES RED
I vote for the Scientist making a beeline for Shanghai and curing Red this turn. I also vote for holding onto One Quiet Night. We never drew Beijing - all those cubes are from outbreaks from Seoul and Shanghai - so we're not about to draw it. I don't think we've pulled Tokyo since the setup either, in which case it'll be buried pretty deep. Better to hold the card for an epidemic.

The setup cards stay in the discard pile so Tokyo is a danger. I think you're right about Beijing though which does lower the odds of insta-death.

They do! But we had an earlier epidemic before this one. It would've been shuffled back on top of the deck at that point. We haven't drawn it since, which means we'll need to go through all the cards we drew between the first epidemic and the second epidemic before we can hit Tokyo again. Time enough for you to do your Cure Tour.
At least I think that's right.

I gotcha now. That makes sense.

OMG, am I going to have to start tracking cards again like in BSG?
In any case, I'm fine with waiting to use it. I've been playing far too much with the new computer version I bought and I still don't have a handle on when the best time for event cards is.
